Slow Numbers lyrics

Song information

Artist: Morphine
Album: The Night

Lyrics

Lazy boys and shy dianes. one at a time, single file
They counted the low numbers as they walked by
I count a high number. a low number. among the slow numbers

The number four means nothing to me but the number four means death to chinese
Number seven is lucky in japan. here we don't give a damn

But on the elevator, no thirteenth floor
On the elevator, no thirteenth floor
Thirteenth going up. going up... going up..

Relaxing as I wait in line. some of the numbers lose their smiles
Specially the numbers one through nine
Because they're only seating parties of ten or higher
For the dancing the question mark sticker and the mermaid kickers

The number four means nothing to me but the number four means death to chinese
Number seven's lucky in japan. here we don't give a damn

But on the elevator, no thirteenth floor
On the elevator, no thirteenth floor
Going up... going up... going up..
